Story about student Busra from Turkey
01/11/19
In SIMI, we regularly employ international interns. This spring, we hosted Busra, an intern from Turkey, who is enrolled in the master degree of gender studies for international students on Faculty of Humanities UK.
Busra showed great interest in our work and helped us mostly with research concerning the situation of migrant women in the Czech Republic and in Europe. We were, on the other hand, interested in how she actually enjoys living in Prague.
